Chapter 211: With input, there will naturally be output
After running around the Li family mansion for more than ten laps, the short jacket on his body was already soaked. Li Ze's habit has now been transmitted to all the guards stationed in the Li family mansion. So now when Li Ze was running, dozens of guards were surrounded by him. Naturally, Li Mi was the one who took the lead.
Speaking of their young masters running every day, they are embarrassed to watch! Running is really addictive. It takes about fifteen days to form a habit. Once a habit is formed and you want to change it, you will feel particularly uncomfortable. Just like these guards, they may be forced to run with Li Ze at first, but after running for a while, if you don’t run on this point, you will feel uncomfortable all over your body.
After the expansion of the Li family mansion, it was really not small. It took about two thousand steps in one circle. If converted to the current length, it would be nearly two thousand meters. If it were more than ten circles, it would be about twenty thousand meters.
One to two thousand meters a day is a very terrifying number for ordinary people, but it is no problem for these carefully selected personal soldiers.
Li Ze has been running like this, but after Li Mi followed him for a while, he was unhappy when he saw the relaxed appearance of his soldiers. First, he asked someone to make some sandbags, from half a pound to one pound, and at most five pounds, tied to let the soldiers run away. After a while, she simply ordered the running every morning to become fully armed.
He put all the armor on his body and brought all the combat equipment. Each person was almost forty or fifty kilograms of weight. Li Mi was so cruel that even Li Ze could not bear it anymore. Too much was too much, so he had to order such fully armed running, at most every ten days.
However, this kind of training is undoubtedly extremely effective. Now these personal soldiers are fully armed and conducting dozens of miles of off-road, without any burden. They can even launch a high-intensity battle after such a high-intensity marching.
Such training finally spread from the personal soldiers in the mansion to the entire personal guard camp, and then became popular with other tribes. Now even the Shen Congxing tribe and Shi Zhuang tribe stationed in Shiyi and Xindu have begun such endurance and strength training.
Of course, this also has negative effects.
The soldiers' appetite increased greatly, and the demand for nutritional supplements was stronger. In terms of food expenses, Li Ze's expenses increased greatly. The rapid increase in this area once aroused the suspicion of Xia He, who was in charge of finance. Until she personally went to take a look when the soldiers were having dinner and saw that the soldiers could eat her for several days in one meal, she finally believed that the officers did not lie about their accounts and embezzled public funds.
Of course, she still felt a little distressed.
In response, Li Ze once smiled and pointed to the clear-cut muscles of the soldiers who were practicing on the school ground with bare arms, saying, "These are all valuable. Look, those bulging muscles represent strength. When a real army fights, putting aside all external factors, just by looking at the face-to-face hand-to-hand combat between soldiers, those with great strength will never suffer any loss."
After glanced at the groups of bulging muscles, Xia He left with a red face.
Li Ze was willing to invest in the army. Eating more is nothing. On the battlefield, as long as he wins, no matter how big the investment is, he can earn back after a victory. He just killed Zhu Bin, and he gained the wealth that could support him for a year. Now he is particularly eager to kill Zhu Shou earlier. He is the leader of the four states. He wants to confiscate his home and he will be rich for several years.
And these years will undoubtedly be his most difficult time. With this money, he can plan future things in a good manner.
Yesterday, I drank a few glasses with Cao Xin and Min Rou. This was not the kind of green ant wine sold outside, but the high-quality wine brewed in the Li family farm. Li Ze was sweating until now that he felt completely refreshed. He wiped the sweat from his body and put it in his nose and smelled it. The sweat seemed to be smelling the wine.
Waving his hands to Li Mi and others, Li Ze trotted back to his yard.
Xia He had already prepared warm water and soft towels for him to return.
When Li Ze stepped into the room, Xia He had just finished preparing these things. The two had been together for too long, and they were already familiar with each other so well that they could cooperate just right on any small matter.
After throwing away the jacket on his body and sitting on the stool, Xia He wrung out the towel and wiped Li Ze's body.
"I have prepared the gift from the master. It is not surprising that anything else is a pair of century-old ginseng and a Polygonum multiflorum that has been formed is rare." Xia He rubbed Li Ze's body vigorously, and said softly.
"Yes." Li Ze nodded indefinitely: "The gift is second. He is the governor of Chengde, what do you want? It's just a little bit of heart. I just heard Cao Gong say that he has some physical problems now. Ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum are tonics, so it might be of some use."
The relationship between Li Ze and Li Anguo was already very weak, and in recent years, he had never even seen each other. Xia He knew this clearly.
"Yixingtang of Tu Erye is committed to opening up the business road this year. It requires a lot of food. We are in high prices and affordable prices, and we have been losing money all the time, so Yixingtang is destined to lose money this year." Xia He turned to Li Ze, twisted the towel again and wiped it, saying: "This has always been relying on old capital. Including the military expenditure, rewards, and pensions required for Henghai, I am afraid that there will be little left in the money I get from Dezhou."
"It doesn't matter. After conquering Cangzhou and Dizhou, you will have money again." Li Ze smiled and said, "I didn't snatch anything quickly!"
"That's the water without a source after all." Xia He smiled and said, "You can't just go and fight a military governor when you have no money."
"That's not bad. When I'm strong enough and I'm out of money, I'll knock one. When all the governors are knocked one by one, the whole world will be my son. Do I still worry about money?" Li Ze smiled and twisted Xia He's earlobe.
Since the two of them pierced the window paper, they have been eccentric. Although Li Ze was still a virgin in this life, he was a veteran in the previous life. Although his body was still very tender, his technique was extremely sophisticated. Soon he discovered that the most sensitive part of Xia He was actually her earlobe. A gentle twist could make her unable to help herself. Sure enough, Xia He's face turned red after this twist, and she twisted her body and took a step back: "Young Master."
Li Ze laughed.
"You don't have to worry too much about money. Although Tu Hu is doing a loss now, you also know that opening up business channels and laying the Internet is the most expensive. I think when we just started Henghai, you were not worried at first that you couldn't sleep all night, but then you counted the money and got cramps in your hands."
"Where did my hands get cramps?" Xia He said angrily.
Li Ze smiled and said, "So, the business of slaughtering tigers will naturally come in two years!"
"But I'm worried now. Yesterday, Shi Zhuang and Shen Congxing both sent a list of supplies. Just the joint fitness equipment you designed and built by Gongzi, the two of them asked for twenty sets each. Do they really think this is a lot of money? And there are only a few skilled craftsmen, and each twenty sets each is forty sets, and even if they can't finish it next year!"
The so-called joint fitness equipment was originally created by Li Ze himself to make the blacksmith master at home. Later, several sets were made by soldiers in the secret camp. Now, they have begun to be used in the army for the soldiers to assembling bodies. However, this thing has a complex structure and can only be made by hand. The price is already very gratifying only by raw materials and labor costs.
"Tell them that there are alternatives. Give them as much as they can do, and don't just point to this." Li Ze said: "But the blacksmith shop at home still needs to recruit people. We need to train more craftsmen, blacksmiths, carpenters, stonemasons and various craftsmen. We all have to work hard to train them. Now we are not a problem, so it is not difficult to find some clever ones to learn."
"It's okay, but the skilled iron and quenching techniques you mentioned at the beginning are secrets and must not be easily revealed."
"The core things must naturally be mastered by those who trust, but don't be afraid that more people will learn other edge technologies." Li Ze said.
Xia He nodded, cleaned the towel, wrung it out and put it on the rack, turned around and found clothes for Li Ze to put them on one by one. After doing all this, the two of them came to the outer room, and the cook had already placed the breakfast on the table.
The porridge made from corn, fresh fragrant roe picked up from the mountains, cook for a while, pick it up and wait until it cools down, cut it into thin slices, and add wild leeks, garlic, and mujiangzi. Mix it with sesame oil, sauce and vinegar, which is the best side dish. Of course, in addition to this freshly prepared dish, there is also a plate of pickled lumps cut into shreds.
While eating, Tu Lichun walked in from outside. Looking at his appearance, Li Ze was shocked. Not only was his face swollen, but his two dark circles were also particularly eye-catching.
"What's wrong? When I got back last night, did I fight Min Rou and the others for another hundred rounds?" Li Ze pointed to the stool in front of him and signaled Tu Lichun to sit down.
Tu Lichun said a little depressedly: "Last night, I lost my drink. This morning, I lost my fight."
Li Zebo burst out laughing and said, "If the Xibei goods under your hands meet the main owner, it's normal for them to lose. You shouldn't have let them fight for wine. How can those kids under your hands have the chance to drink often? But Min Rou's subordinates often drink. You are fighting against other people's strengths based on your own weaknesses!"
"At the banquet, the boys' aggressive nature will appear, so it's easy to stop it. Besides, even if you lose in such a thing, you will lose without losing in the formation!"
"So I lay down." Li Ze laughed and said, "They are all head-heavy. If you fight another battle this morning, of course you will lose very ugly. But it doesn't matter if you lose this time, just strive to win the next time."
